Matilda was exceptional

Karen_F, Mar 2026

Amazing show, easy to get in with our Viator tickets. The children and Trunchbull were a delight, and so was the rest of the cast!

No seat numbers given by Viator

Rebecca_D, Nov 2024

Great show almost missed it due to buying tickets on this site - The tickets didn’t print our seat numbers, and then our names and emails were not given to the box office. Wonderful show once we sorted it out.

Kids loved it

Luis_L, Jun 2024

Great experience. The only down was the fact that the tickets didn’t have the seat numbers and it took a while for the people at the venue to find my reservation.

Wonderful Experience

Jay_R, May 2024

Wonderful play and cast. Theatre's staff was exceptional and helpful. Quent venue and enjoyable. Only negative was a little loud for kids.

Matilda

Selina_P, Jul 2023

My two children 6 and 9 absolutely loved the musical! It was entertaining and the sets were awesome. I would highly recommend this show

Memorable Show, Very Talented Cast

Tonia_T, May 2023

One of the best musicals we have ever seen! The cast is incredibly talented, especially the girl playing Matilda! Small theater was well suited for the show and kept the crowd at intermission manageable. Would see it again and again!

Fun for kids

Shane_T, Mar 2023

We brought a 6 & 8 yo kids. Since then all they talk about is this show. We would recommend family’s to go, both kids and adults will enjoy.

Amazing 👏

Had seats in the very back row, and to be honest, I didn't really care for the play.

Debbie_L, Sep 2016

Matilda the Musical was quirky and very entertaining! The props were fantastic...creative and effective. Choreography was clever and music up-beat. This show kept 3, 50 somethings entertained. Voices were suberb...the only criticism was that some of the diction of the children was hard to understand...they spoke very quickly and with high pitched voices it was hard to catch it all. Great atmosphere...cosy bars for a drink if you'd like too.

Marcha L, Aug 2016

We selected the dinner option and it was extremely difficult to find the restaurant. We stopped several places to ask where it was and they didn't know. When we finally found it after 30 minutes the restaurant didn't have a clue what to do with the voucher. They got the management and the management made some calls and they still said they didn't know what it was about. After about 20 minutes, they seated us and said that they would honor it. I was very disappointed.

The show was great. Could have gotten cheaper tickets and better seats in London after we arrived.

Took Viator Voucher to the ticket window, and picked up the tickets with no problem. We had very good seats, and the show was excellent.

Denise B, Jun 2014

The Play was beyond brilliant but we already knew that - although the tickets were on the second mezzanine which I thought were not as good as what I expected. They were OK tickets - but for the price certainly should have been better. Now I got these tickets for a friend traveling with us. Thanks to our knowing one of the broadway producers of the show in NY we were able to get other tickets for ourselves that were outstanding. I just would have hoped that my friend would have been down with her son in Orchestra with us. So Fabulous show - don't miss the show.. request where the heck the seats are if you are paying for premium seating.

Felt ripped off. Seats were terrible and dinner service was horrible and the minimum. Loved the show but not the viator package. You all must have made a fortune on us. I was v v disappointed

Antoinette_T, May 2014

Matilda was highly entertaining, the dancing especially of the children in the cast were precise and energetic and there were definitely some showstoppers. This show definitely lived up to all of its reviews. A must see for everyone!

Aline_M, Aug 2022

Viator avait omis de fournir les billets, nous n'avions qu'une simple confirmation de réservation en français, ce qui a occasionné quelques hésitations à l'accueil. Néanmoins tout s'est bien passé et le spectacle était époustouflant.
